The aim of this module is to help prepare you for your working life as an autonomous practitioner within a changing health and social care landscape by using your knowledge of occupation to investigate and respond to emerging opportunities for service development and innovative practice.
You will work collaboratively in small groups with an academic mentor to co-create a credible business proposal. The module will also allow you to consolidate your reflective skills in relation to your abilities in collaboration, negotiation, planning and presentation within deadlines.

1. Investigate and critically analyse emerging opportunities for occupation-based practice in relation to policy, population needs and market forces.
2. Critically apply theory and evidence to develop a rationale for a new intervention, new form of service delivery, new piece of equipment or community based service.
3. Synthesise results of the investigation to produce a convincing business proposal for the innovation or enterprise.
4. Reflect critically on your ability in collaborating, negotiating, planning and presenting.
